Leave No Man Behind : Liberation and Capture Missions
David C. Isby analyses the most famous missions of the US special operation forces - The 'Green Berets', Rangers, SEALs and others - from POW rescues at the end of the Second World War to the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003. These accounts show the US fighting man at his most heroic. Yet they also show how they have often been let down by their political leadership. Why were some missoins great successes while others turned to tragedy/ How did the 'zero defect, no tolerance for risks'-US military of the 1990s find itself having to carry out such perilous operations in Afghanistan and Iraq? Raids and rescues will be more typical of warfarw in the 21st century, so it is vital to understand the successes and failures of America's elite forces.
